Having seen some of your other projects, I can't help but believe it will all come out beautifully. <br />And remember to share some seedlings with neighbors... I did that and it showed me that if I had a sunnier spot then my seeds certainly would have done what they should have. I ended up with tons of produce from grateful friends who were happy to get some of my seedlings!'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-22721377758960703982013-05-31T19:31:30.341-04:002013-05-31T19:31:30.341-04:00Good luck on your garden.

I grew tomatoes under grow lights for about six weeks til they were tall and ready to be planted. Since I planted them it has done NOTHING BUT RAIN. Yep for three weeks it has rained. I'll be having BLB's instead of BLT's (bacon lettuce and blight!) Oh well - I like to start gardens no matter what so good luck with your bit of sunshine!<br />Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727266796590751202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-28167342875375826722013-05-25T20:30:54.577-04:002013-05-25T20:30:54.577-04:00I wish you well with your gardening adventures thi...I wish you well with your gardening adventures this summer. I hope you have a bountiful harvest with much good eating. I tried a garden one year, but it didn't amount to much other than some rather scrawny cucumbers and an assortment of hot peppers that were more than we could eat. My yard seems to do okay with hot peppers, but that's about it.<br /><br />Have a great holiday weekend!<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-1668685493351554272013-05-25T19:45:15.563-04:002013-05-25T19:45:15.563-04:00I have faith in you and your garden.

I haven't had much success with them in containers. <br /><br />But my strawberries and raspberries are happy in containers. <br /><br />I don't do measurements... but here's my recipe. Fresh spinach. Shredded zucchini. Garlic. Maybe onion powder and pepper. A little bit of chicken broth or maybe a white cooking wine. Throw it all in a sauce pan and throw on the lid. Cook it a few minutes until it smells done - it only takes a few minutes. Maybe put parm. cheese on it. I think mushrooms would be good in it too, but I haven't tried it. The zucchini absorbs the taste of the other stuff. (I never make the same thing twice - drives my husband nuts.)<br /><br />Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-26205551272160696822013-05-24T21:47:09.474-04:002013-05-24T21:47:09.474-04:00It's still early.

I also have a casserole recipe that really makes zucchini luscious.<br />4 c diced summer squash<br />1 medium onion, chopped<br />1/2 c grated sharp cheese<br />1 c Bisquick or something similiar<br />1 tsp salt<br />1 tsp oregano<br />3 large eggs, whisked<br />1/2 c oil<br />Mix together everything but the oil and eggs and spread in a greased casserole dish. Mix the eggs and oil together and pour over the rest. Bake 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Can be frozen and reheated.Tricia J.

I had land with many trees and over half died because of lack of rain and pine beetles. It is very expensive to have trees cut down.<br />Good luck with your raised beds.
